(Updated 29 July 2010) One common question asked by most parents is how the distance between a primary school and their homes is computed.

MOE provides schools with an updated list of Home-School distance categories each year, about 2 weeks before the start of the Primary 1 registration process.  Parents are welcome to call up the schools to check their official distance from the school at no cost.

Alternatively, parents can also get this information on the Internet. Here's how:

Using OneMap.sg

OneMap is an integrated map system for government agencies. On www.onemap.sg, you can use a service called “SchoolQuery” to search primary schools within a radius of 1 or 2kms around a particular location in the map. It can also be used to determine if a particular address is within 1 or 2km from any school.
